11. Lots of union agreements

Have a "no strike" clause. Even in my state with state employee unions. That hasn't been fully tested in modern times.

Yea, they might be able to get away with trying to farm out some of the care but in no way are most hospitals, especially rural ones, equipped to care for the type of injuries and conditions many veterans have.
Yes, I completely agree, this administration doesn't give a shit about veterans. That's true. But there are laws around veteran medical care and significant public support for veterans, no matter their politics. It would end up being very bad for this administration.

I'm suggesting some sort of action because what is the alternative? They just need to become Mango Mussolini's sycophants and start licking his boots?
